Balloon travels over 400 miles A couple of weeks ago the Star carried a story about one of our readers who found a laminated post-card with a string attached to--thé re- mains of a yellow balloon. The card was found in a snow-bank fhorth of Port Perry, and written on the card is the address of the Fred D. Leonhard School in Southfield, Michigan. Suspecting that the balloon and card were sent aloft by the students of the school as' some kind of science project, Mother's Day Spocias Choice of 3 models from .. 489" the Star wrote to the school for more details. A few days later we re- ceived a very nice reply from John Corfield, who is a grade one student at Leon- hard School. John tells us that the bal- loons were sent up by the grade one class last Novem- ber. The class tested differ- ent sizes and weights and under a variety of weather conditions. While one of the helium balloons made it as far as Port Perry, which is well over 400 miles from South- field, it was no means a record, as the class has learned that one of their balloons travelled as far as the State of Maine, a dis- tance of some 2,000 miles. In the interests of science and a rather interesting school project, the Star sal- utes John Corfield, his class- mates and their teacher M. H.Katz.
